Purple Mansion True Person's Hidden Treasure?

At their first clash, the Golden Core demon cultivator's attack was shattered by the divine lightning Elder Liu Mu had summoned!

"Hmph!"

The Golden Core demon cultivator snorted coldly and said in exasperation,

"You Mount Shu old bull-noses! Take this!"

In an instant, blood mist surged around the Golden Core demon cultivator.

The blood mist rapidly condensed, transforming into a ferocious blood dragon that roared as it charged toward Elder Liu Mu.

"A mere early Golden Core cultivator dares act so wildly before this elder?"

Elder Liu Mu's expression hardened. The longsword in his hand burst with dazzling spiritual light as he swept its edge.

"Azure Wood Sword Art—Myriad Leaf Slash!"

Swish, swish, swish!

Mighty Sword Qi spread out, then transformed into thousands upon thousands of green leaves, each one sharp as a blade.

In less than a moment, they collided with the blood dragon formed from the blood mist.

Boom! Boom!

Accompanied by an ear-splitting roar, the blood dragon was sliced into fragments by the countless green-leaf Sword Qi.

Seeing this, the Golden Core demon cultivator gave a savage grin and formed hand seals.

"Blood Sha Demonic Art—Soul-Devouring Blood Claw!"

Immediately afterward, the Golden Core demon cultivator thrust out one hand!

Rumble!

The void split open, and a hundred-zhang blood claw appeared out of thin air. Carrying Killing Intent capable of corroding all things, it viciously clawed down at Liu Mu.

Elder Liu Mu snorted and swept his sleeve.

"Mystic Wood Shield!"

Buzz!

A quaint wooden shield appeared before him.

Its surface was engraved with all manner of profound runes, forcefully blocking the blood claw.

However, the power of Blood Sha was immensely corrosive, and the wooden shield actually began to crack.

Liu Mu frowned and hurriedly launched another attack.

"Azure Wood Life-Binding!"

As Liu Mu activated his spiritual energy, countless vines appeared in midair and shot straight toward the blood claw, winding around it.

Seeing this, the Golden Core demon cultivator roared as the Blood Sha Qi around his body surged violently.

"Blood Sha Burning Heaven!"

Boom!

Towering blood flames erupted, instantly burning the entwining vines to ashes.

Taking advantage of this opening, the Golden Core demon cultivator shot into the sky and pressed his palms together.

"Blood Demon True Form, manifest!"

Looking again, a hundred-zhang phantom of a blood demon appeared, with Three-Headed Six-Armed and Baleful Intent soaring to the heavens.

The next moment, the blood demon phantom formed by the Golden Core demon cultivator swung its six arms and pressed down in suppression.

Rumble, rumble, rumble!

Terrifying pressure descended like the sky itself was collapsing, filling heaven and earth with killing intent!

"Heavenly Wood Divine Sword!"

Seeing this, Liu Mu released the longsword from his hand. It expanded wildly in the wind.

In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a giant sword piercing the heavens, its blade wreathed in the phantom of an Azure Dragon, its might shaking the world!

"Slash!"

One sword cleaved down, Sword Qi blazing with radiant splendor!

Bang!

The attack bearing down on Liu Mu with crushing force shattered instantly.

Even the Golden Core demon cultivator's Blood Demon True Form was forcibly cleaved in half by Elder Liu Mu's sword.

The aftermath swept across a thousand zhang, toppling mountains and splitting the earth!

Watching the scenes of two Golden Core experts clashing,

Liu Ruyan and the other disciples were all stunned.

"So this is... a Golden Core battle?"

Liu Ruyan cried out in shock.

Just then, several dozen demon cultivators appeared in the distance, every one of them savage-faced and brimming with murderous intent.

"Kill them! Leave none alive!"

The leading demon cultivator shouted fiercely.

Liu Ruyan's beautiful eyes narrowed. Her longsword flashed with a dazzling cold gleam as she was about to strike, only for Chen Changqing to stop her.

"Senior Sister, stay here and watch. A Golden Core battle is greatly beneficial to cultivation."

Chen Changqing smiled faintly, then added,

"As for these small fry... leave them to me."

Liu Ruyan was stunned. Before she could speak, Chen Changqing had already become a blur and charged straight toward the demon cultivators.

"Has he gone mad?"

"A mere fifth-layer Qi Refining cultivator actually dares face several dozen demon cultivators alone?"

"And he wants us to stay here and observe the battle for enlightenment?"

"Can this kid really do it?"

The other disciples frowned deeply at the sight.

They had seen Chen Changqing fight earlier, and he had indeed been decisive and ruthless, but this time, several dozen demon cultivators were charging at him.

"Since he dares say such a thing, he must have some means."

At this moment, Liu Ruyan spoke up, choosing to trust Chen Changqing.

Hearing this, the other disciples did not dwell on it and turned their attention back to the battle between the two Golden Core powerhouses.

What they did not know was that Chen Changqing had done this because, in his eyes,

these demon cultivators were not enemies at all, but walking bundles of experience!

Before long,

Chen Changqing had already rushed before the demon cultivators.

Swish!

The Shadow-Bearing Sword emerged. Its black sword light was like Death's scythe, instantly cutting off the heads of three demon cultivators!

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

Blood sprayed everywhere. Chen Changqing moved like a ghost through the demon cultivators, each sword strike precisely reaping a life.

[Ding!]

[Killed a demon cultivator. AFK Points +10.]

[Ding!]

[Killed a demon cultivator. AFK Points +20.]

[Ding...]

The system notifications rang out madly. Hearing them, Chen Changqing's lips curled into a meaningful arc.

"Awesome!"

Chen Changqing was exhilarated.

When he had killed demon cultivators before, he had discovered

that as he killed more demon cultivators, the AFK Points he received also stacked up.

At first, he had only gained one AFK Point, but now killing a demon cultivator could earn him dozens of points.

Seeing how formidable Chen Changqing was,

the Qi Refining demon cultivators immediately lost their will to fight.

"Run! Run!"

The remaining demon cultivators began fleeing in all directions.

Where was this a disciple of the righteous path?

He was clearly a killing god even more vicious than the Demon Sect!

Seeing this, Chen Changqing chuckled coldly. How could he possibly let these bundles of experience escape so easily?

"Trying to leave? Too late!"

Boom!

With a flicker of his body, Chen Changqing directly unleashed the Thunder Fist. Lightning ran rampant, blasting the demon cultivators' bodies into clouds of blood mist one after another!

Before long, of the several dozen demon cultivators, only one remained!

Bang!

Chen Changqing threw a punch, and the demon cultivator raised his strength to block it.

Pfft!

Under the violent force of the punch, the demon cultivator immediately spat out a mouthful of blood and crashed heavily to the ground.

Before he could rise, Chen Changqing had already planted one foot on his chest.

"This?"

The demon cultivator froze. Looking up, he saw the Shadow-Bearing Sword pressed directly against his throat.

"Speak. Why have you come here?"

"If you answer honestly, I can spare your life!"

Hearing this, the demon cultivator said tremblingly,

"We... we were only ordered to slaughter villages... and collect blood Qi."

Seeing the demon cultivator stammer, Chen Changqing sensed that something was wrong. With a flick of his blade, blood immediately seeped from the demon cultivator's neck.

"I'll give you one last chance!"

At those words, the demon cultivator was so frightened that his soul nearly fled his body. He hurriedly said,

"Don't... don't kill me!"

"I'll talk! Our Demon Sect came here this time to search for Purple Mansion True Person's hidden treasure!"

"Purple Mansion True Person!"

Chen Changqing's pupils contracted.

One had to know that the second realm of immortal cultivation was:

Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Golden Core!

And a Purple Mansion True Person was a terrifying existence who had transcended the Golden Core realm.

Even within the Mount Shu Sect, he would be a mighty figure on the level of a Peak Master!

"A treasure was actually left behind here by such a powerful expert?"

Chen Changqing asked in astonishment.
